'We've been told the killing in Iran is stopping, no plan for executions' - Trump

"US President Donald Trump said "we've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping", as he spoke from the White House in DC on Wednesday. "It's stopped. It's stopping. And there's no plan for executions or an execution or executions," he stated. "So I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about it. I'm sure if it happens, we'll all be very upset, including you will be very upset." "But that's just gotten to me some information that the killing has stopped, that the executions have stopped. They're not going to have an execution, which a lot of people were talking about for the last couple of days. Today was going to be the day of execution," he added. On Tuesday, Trump reiterated to Iranian protesters that 'help is on the way' - and told them to 'keep protesting' - as he addressed the Detroit Economic Club. "To all Iranian patriots, keep protesting. Take over your institutions, if possible," he said. "And all I say to them is help is on its way. You saw that I put tariffs on anybody doing business with Iran. Just went into effect today." Earlier he wrote on Truth Social: "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!" He did not expand on what he meant by 'help' although the White House has said airstrikes are among the 'many' options. Economic protests have been ongoing in Iran since December, and intensified in recent days and weeks, with Iran accusing Trump of inflaming tensions - after he warned the authorities he could intervene in the event of a potential crackdown. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed some rioters were destroying property to 'please' the US president. "
